Now, in the moribund 200+ years since our Constitution was set in motion.. some elements of our Government and the few, lonely depraved challengers are cleaning the house of Christian morality. Fair viewpoint.
On the other hand, perhaps it's simply a growing non-Christain group which obligates us to include and modify our laws to accomidate them. Also a valid argument and viewpoint.
But, just like in any complicated design, if you start changing base elements of the design - then you have to add "hacks". A hack meaning a clever though hastily designed solution that "makes it work" - at least for the time being. Duct tape, bailing wire, and Microsoft all come time mind.
The problem is, that our Code of law is being hacked.. and the Design document (Constitution and Bill of Rights) is still the same. The old software addage, "it's a feature not a bug" comes to mind as you read the code of law. We aren't writting good code, and sooner or later it will fail to execute correctly in some unknown edge case.
Example: I'm truly mortified at the outcome of the Schindler-Schiavo case ending in the soon-inevitable death, but I am not surprised. The Florida legislative bill which allowed the death by dehydration and starvation was introduced at the proding of the same lawyer which argued for her death - George Felos.
American justice and due process has, in actuality, occured. The evidence was admitted, a judge allowed or disallowed evidence, a series of motions were made, and a judgement according to the evidence before the court was executed. Even the Supreme court has said, indeed Justice is served. Hot or cold, fair or unfair.
We've been warned time and time again. Outspoken critics lambast our changing system of Justice on a daily, hourly basis. A TV sitcom makes a funny show about it and we all feel vindicated that it's really not THAT SERIOUS. It's just a stupid law, and it'll never apply to me anyway. The chorus of voices is just chatter.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND YOU.
- How many of your friends and relatives end up in Divorce Court?
- How many people do you know who got busted for Drugs?
- How much does it cost to get real Justice, and how much more to people pay to subvert it?
- Why does money matter in Justice, as only the Truth is the actual currency of Justice?
- What percentage of our population must go to Jail before we recognize that we have no true Justice?
- How many of you have dealt with the Death of a loved one - especially in a hospital?
Justice is not the servant of Logic. Truth is not the servant of Logic. In order to have True justice, there must be Truth, which is Logical. Why is Truth logical? Because it is the very nature of Logic that it is based on Truth. Otherwise it makes no sense.
No brainer for the vast majority of common sense humanity. But when the aim of Justice becomes the substitute for God, the punishment becomes harsh. Because, Logically, a crime or sin deserves Death - Truth demands it. Only through God can we obtain penance and forgiveness - not a penitentiary. Because True Justice has no mercy.
Proof: An auto mechanic Bob does a shody $50 repair job which results in the death of Mary. Should Bob pay the family of Mary $50 - or should he be put to death in exchange for her death? Shouldn't we kill Bob then?
How many of us are culpable for the death or misery of our neighbors? We buy shoes made by political prisoners or children. Our neighbor lost their job at the Shoe factory because they can't match slave labor wages?
How much injustice can a single American perform in a single day just by eating, shopping, and going to sleep? Some of you agree - even some Athiest - that a great injustice is occuring here. Just because we're ignorant of the misery and death resulting from our choices in shopping doesn't exempt us from Justice. And if Justice it to be metted out in equal portions - then don't we all deserve death?
Therefore, all of Mankind that perpitrates injustice through his own hands or actions, either from ignorance or malveolance is subject to the equal punishmment of Justice.
I submit that the true cost of throwing out God from our Code of Law, is the death of Man. Because without the weight of God through Mercy tipping the scale in Justice, we all do deserve the equitable punishment.
